An intro to Molecular and Functional Properti...

Memory isn’t stored in a single place or a single cell—it’s embedded in subtle, widely distributed changes at synapses. In this episode, we explore how neuroscientists moved from abstract theories of memory to concrete biological mechanisms. We follow the trail from Hebb’s insigh ...  Show more

The human brain contains roughly 85 billion neurons, and somehow each one makes the right connections at the right place, in the right order. In this episode, we explore how such astonishing precision emerges during brain development, using the visual system as our guide—from ret ...  Show more

This is a lesson that covers DNA replication, transcription, and protein synthesis. 

DNA replication and the central dogma are fundamental concepts in molecular biology, and breaking down the different replication methods and the processes of transcription and translation is crucial for understanding how genetic information is expressed and passed on in cells.In ...  Show more

This podcast is the first in a series of lectures covering genetics. I cover the following topics: brief history of basic genetic principals, evolution, chromosomal theory (including mutations), mitosis and meiosis, and inheritance patterns.Thanks for listening!
